37
The very experience of coping and risking failure increases our self-confidence.
38
We can only learn to deal with failure by actually experiencing failure.
39
Failure turns out to be far less threatening when confronted directly. The pain associated with the fear of failure is usually more intense than the pain following an actual failure.
40
Failure teaches us things about ourselves that we could learn no other way.
41
The key difference between the perfectionist and the optimalist is that the former rejects reality, while the latter accepts it.

Optimalists accept reality. They accept that in the real world some failure and sorrow is inevitable and that success has to be measured against standards that are actually attainable.
44
Perfectionists pay an extremely high emotional price for rejecting reality. Their rejection of real world limits and constraints leads them to set unreasonable and unattainable standards for success.
